Local Churches Unite to Celebrate Faith, Hope, and Love

Across the Sunshine Coast, churches are crossing denominational lines and coming together, not around traditions, but around the One who unites them: Jesus Christ.

Range Churches Together is a collective of representatives from churches throughout the Blackall Range who meet monthly to explore how they can better serve the local community. From Christmas Carols to Easter Dawn Services, ANZAC Day commemorations to Palm Sunday gatherings, these churches regularly join forces to create opportunities for people to experience God’s love, hope, and blessing.

But this movement of unity goes beyond the Range. Across the wider Sunshine Coast, churches are linking arms in a broader expression of togetherness, and this Pentecost Sunday, you’re invited to be part of it.

All denominations will gather for a public celebration of faith, hope, love, and unity, and while it might seem like just another church service, those involved say it’s something far more profound. “It’s a glimpse into what the Church was always meant to be: one body, many parts, united in love.”

“At the RCT table, we like to say, who unites us is far greater than what has the potential to divide us,” says Ps Pete Maher, Senior Pastor of The Range Church and Chair of RCT. “It’s about living out the prayer of Jesus, when He asked that His followers would be one, just as He and the Father are one. That kind of unity speaks louder than any sermon or any of the different ways we worship.”

The early Church was born in a moment like this. On the day of Pentecost, believers gathered. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully, and people encountered God. Hope spread, and that movement continues to this day.

This Pentecost, churches from the Hinterland to the Coastline are uniting with the same heart: to exalt Jesus, the name above every name.

Unity isn’t always easy. It calls for humility and the willingness to lay down pride and our differences. But when believers unite, not to compete, but to worship, serve, and love, it creates something the world longs to see: a people marked by grace who truly love and look like Jesus.

“We’re not gathering to promote a brand, we’re gathering because Jesus is worthy, and because the world needs to see what real hope looks like.”

Join us for Pentecost Sunday on Sunday the 8th of June 2025 at 5 pm.
